Sardonyx Sphere

Used as a stone of strength and protection since ancient times, sardonyx is associated with courage, happiness and clear communication. It brings lasting happiness and stability to marriage and partnerships. The spiritual values of red and white-banded and red bullseye sardonyx make these stones particularly powerful.

Sardonyx forms from silicon dioxide as a variety of onyx and is a member of the chalcedony cryptocrystalline quartz family. It was once believed that sardonyx would make its wearer "as brave and daring as what it was carved into." In ancient Rome, sardonyx was often used for seals as it never sticks to wax.
